It is believed to be caused by a single gene that is always turned on in Ancients, instructing various cells in the body to produce a series of proteins and enzymes that interact with the skin, nervous system and brain. Activation can occur from materials as simple as small Ancient transmitters to the activation of sensitive equipment inside Puddle Jumpers, though Ancient scanners may not require activation by Ancient genes.
